I'm rushing down to the bookies as we speak.
P.s. Splendid update to your post. I don't think anyone will notice you didn't think of that amusing refrain straight away
I don't recall the club explicitly putting a timeframe on "european qualification".... yes, the players or manager will always answer "Why not?" when a journo asks them if we can qualify for Europe this year but that's just a neutral / non-committal answer and simply shows how positive the mindset of the players and manager is.
Had more chances and possession than Spurs but undone by defensive frailties. We're a different proposition with Boruc, Shaw, Clyne and Fonte in the back 5 and Wanyama sitting in front of them.
Onwards and upwards...
